Question and options
Directions: Fill in the blanks.
The army officer was __________ in the face of trouble and was able to defend himself.
- brave
- to stand up
- cowardly
- timid
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A - brave
An officer who was able to defend himself in the face of trouble must have been brave. 'Cowardly' and 'timid' contradict the second half of the sentence, and 'to stand up' is ungrammatical after 'was'.
